Celebrate Local, Seasonal and Organic Food with an Earth Dinner!

Dear Chefs,

Last year, a record number of restaurants helped Organic Valley and Chefs Collaborative celebrate our commitment to local, sustainable, organic and delicious food by hosting an Earth Dinner. Join us in making this year the best year yet! These theme dinners provide opportunities for diners to connect with their food, its source, and the traditions and memories associated with it.

Whatever format and ingredients you decide upon, know that a portion of your proceeds will go directly to our work in fostering a more sustainable food system. Plus, Organic Valley has generously agreed to match all donations up to $10,000!

Check out our Earth Dinner Fact Sheet for some creative ideas and suggestions for dinner formats, and let us know to count you in for our biggest year yet.

For more information on how you can be part of this nationwide initiative, please contact Jen Ede at This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. or by phone at 617-236-5200. Or simply send Jen an email that says to count you in on Earth Dinner 2011! She'll let you know how to take the next step to register. Thank you!

Sincerely,

Melissa KogutExecutive Director, Chefs Collaborative

With all the advancements in 3-D printing I was recently speculating on how far off "Food Replicators" ala Star Trek would be.
Well with the announcement below I guess i have to move my ETA on them up, way up.
